"We have hit 70 per cent vaccination. It is the national goal, and we hit it ahead of schedule. What does 70 per cent mean? It means that we can now return to life as we know," an elated governor Cuomo said.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio had earlier announced that a ticker-tape parade to&nbsp;be conducted on July 7 to honour the health workers who fought against the virus to treat patients.

The virus positivity rate has fallen to a dramatic 0.59 per cent. New York witnessed 33,000 COVID-19 fatalities as it battled the virus during the height of crisis with lockdowns and hospitalisations.

"We were knocked down but we got back up and that's something to celebrate about this city," Blasio stated as he celebrated the city's victory over the virus after overcoming dark times most of last year.

The United States is the worst-hit country due to the virus. The country crossed the grim milestone of&nbsp;600,000 coronavirus deaths on Tuesday.

"There's still too many lives being lost," US President Biden said on the continued virus death toll.

According to US health officials, at least 52 per cent of the population has received one dose of the virus even as Biden has set a target of 70 per cent by July 4.

Vaccinations had begun in the US in December with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and had reached a peak of 4 million shots administered per day in April.
